WOW! It came out great! I have to say the camo really worked as it is confusing me with its true shape! Can't wait to see it weathered next... it will bring the camo together.

Jeff,thanks buddy  .Hate to disappoint you,but that,s not blue It's a really,really,really light green. That'll work too. Viewing on my I pad. Some times it's not the best for colors. |

That's an unusual camo job, but yet an attractive composition. Reminds me of Japanese WWII camo, only missing the yellow "sun" stripes!  Cheers, Tobi |

Real interesting scheme I think it looks a bit WWII too, only for me it reminds me of the Churchills' in Itay. Must be the sky mix |

Leon,I reckon for the weathering you have 2 choices,as there were only two built.One that's been run into the ground,so to speak,whilst they were trialing it,OR,minimal,because it was the 'show' vehicle?? |

Hi guys,not much of an update.I'm playing around with a wet mud idea.I used diluted white glue and earth colored non sanded grout to make the wet mud.Going to let this cure for an hour and then spray on a gloss coat to see how it looks.    Appreciate your comments on how this looks so far. |
